FOCUS ON LUXURY VINYL TILES (LVT) Making A Statement
David Bigland, MD of Moduleo UK and Eire, discusses the rise in popularity of LVT as more and more homeowners seek a statement floor.
When specifying flooring for residential settings, homeowners are increasingly seeing the benefits of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) to create the desired finish; with a wide array of authentic patterns, colours and effective materials to choose from.
Not only is it flexible – and often easier to install – than real wood or stone, for example, LVT products are dramatically cheaper and more durable, offering homeowners better scope when it comes to budgeting for those finishing touches.
Standout Style
Thanks to our mainland European neighbours, we’re increasingly seeing more of the geometric and monochrome statement floors in interiors. This is, in part, due to the statement floor quickly becoming the new statement wall, in so much that people are turning their focus underfoot to create a decorative, impactful design that nobody else will have.
Making a statement is cheaper and easier than it sounds. A black and white chevron design, for example, can be created using Moduleo’s popular Moods collection.
Not only is this a bold and interesting design, but it allows homeowners to select classically simple fixtures and fittings for the timeless and tasteful minimalistic look.
Whether it’s the classic monochrome, or a colourful geometric pattern, statement floors are also becoming an increasingly popular trend thanks to their ability to allow people to create a unique mood and convey personality.
Throw Some Shapes
Using a range of shapes, from hexagons and triangles, to squares and herringbone, bathrooms can be bold and create instantly recognisable designs, with few colours, for a lasting impact at a reasonable price.
As we know, interior design has become a popular pastime over the last few years, with people looking for new and innovative ways to make a statement in every room.

Whether that’s on the walls, ceilings or underfoot, there is an ever-growing smorgasbord of papers, tiles, paints and fabrics to choose from.
With a collection of products, such as Moods, people can create a world of floor designs through a range of colourways and patterns, including hexagons, chevrons, triangles and diamonds, as well as traditional squares and rectangles. And the options are growing all the time.
Find Inspiration
For those unsure about how an eye-catching floor may look, we recommend using tools like Moduleo’s visualiser. This can be accessed via our website and allows people to see what a floor pattern will look like in situ.
All a person needs to do is pick a popular room or space from those available and select a tile and effect to see what it will look like. The room can then be saved and printed to draw inspiration from at a later date.
Get In The Zone
Creating a defined ‘zone’ in the middle of a room, or perhaps emphasising a doorway with a different floor pattern from one room to the other, is an easy way to create identity and space within the home without drastically having to change any furniture.
What’s more, the products can be combined with traditional ‘plank’ wood-effect products for ease of installation and an ultra bespoke finish.
With flooring technologies and product portfolios growing every year, we predict both the monochrome and geometrics will continue to go from strength to strength. Now, even the most ambitious flooring pattern is a possibility!
